SUMMARY:The Heckscher Museum of Art presents Emma Stebbins: Carving Out History
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition is the first to recognize Emma Stebbins (1815–1882) as one of the most significant American sculptors of the nineteenth century. While her Bethesda Fountain in Central Park has been a global icon for 150 years\, the full scope of Stebbins’s life and work is virtually unknown. From 1857 to 1870\, she created innovative sculptures while living in Rome with her wife\, renowned Shakespearean actress Charlotte Cushman\, who championed her career. Stebbins modeled inventive and incisive interpretations of literary and biblical subjects\, unprecedented allegories of American industry\, and notable portraits of her friends and family. In 1863\, with the order for the Bethesda Fountain\, she became the first woman to earn a commission for a public sculpture from the city of New York. When Bostonians installed her statue of educator Horace Mann on the grounds of the Massachusetts State House in 1865\, she became the first woman in the country to complete an outdoor bronze monument. \nEmma Stebbins: Carving Out History brings together most of the artist’s rare extant work\, including a portrait drawing and several sculptures that will be on public view for the first time in a century. In addition to fourteen sculptures\, the exhibition features archival material including photographs that document lost marble sculptures and plaster studies that Stebbins never realized in stone or bronze. Stebbins completed the Bethesda Fountain to celebrate the Croton Aqueduct\, which brought clean drinking water to New York City. The inclusion of paintings and photographs by historic and contemporary artists including William Merritt Chase\, Martha Edelheit\, and Ricky Flores attest to its enduring relevance as a monument to health\, healing\, and peace. \nThe exhibition is curated by Karli Wurzelbacher\, PhD\, Chief Curator of The Heckscher Museum of Art\, which stewards the largest collection of Stebbins’s work. An extensive scholarly publication with a foreword by Pulitzer- and Tony-award winning playwright Tony Kushner accompanies the exhibition.

SUMMARY:Heckscher Museum of Art presents Central Park's Bethesda Fountain Visits Heckscher Park Through Immersive AR Experience
DESCRIPTION:The Heckscher Museum of Art\, in partnership with the Central Park Conservancy—the nonprofit organization that manages Central Park—brings Emma Stebbins’ iconic Bethesda Fountain to life in Heckscher Park\, Huntington\, through an Augmented Reality (AR) experience. Visitors will be able to use their smartphones to experience the full monument in this new setting. The immersive experience will allow visitors to look thoughtfully at Stebbins’s magnificent work as they take a 360-degree virtual walk around the entire monument. This one-of-a kind event coincides with the seminal exhibition\, Emma Stebbins: Carving Out History.\nThe exhibition devotes a gallery to exploring the central role the Bethesda Fountain has played serving as a convening space\, cultural hub\, cinematic icon\, beacon for tourists\, and inspiration to other artists\, like Tony Kushner\, who placed the Bethesda Fountain at the center of his Pulitzer Prize winning play Angels in America\, and who wrote a foreword for the exhibition catalogue. After visiting the exhibition\, visitors will be able to experience the spectacular monument just a few feet outside the Museum doors.\nFor the best AR viewing\, visitors can use the QR codes easily accessible on Museum signage in areas in front of the Museum in Heckscher Park. Look for the Emma Stebbins AR in Apple or Google App Stores.
